I think I've been misunderstood. :)
I run slack 4.0 with the very latest stable kernel. I don't know what the
hell could be causing these version conflicts or whatever, but I am
positive that i run a libc6 system. If anyone else out there can help me,
please let me know....I can give you the full output of my 'make' and any
other pertinent information.
TIA,
George
